30 Most Gruesome Sports Injuries of All Time

During the 2013 NCAA Tournament, Louisville’s Kevin Ware made an attempt to block a shot. On his way up the only thing he was worried about was making the defensive stop but when he landed, his life changed. He suffered a compound fracture to his right leg but the entire injury was caught on tape and remains one of the nastiest leg injuries in sports history.

And then Anderson Silva, likely ending his career, snapped his leg like a twig when attempted a kick during his fight against Chris Weidman at UFC 168.

Athletes spend their entire lives working towards one goal, being the best. So along the way, injuries happen, some worse than others. From broken legs to slit throats, we have found 30 of the most gruesome sports injuries of all time.
